"Port authorities today are investigating the discovery of several dead bodies inside a freight container. The discovery was made during routine customs scan of the off-loading trader, Cornucopia.

"'Judging from the construction of the container and the fact that the deceased were armed,' Portmaster Rawls said, 'I'd say this is likely a hijack gone wrong. The container was at the back of the ship, and it looks like there were other containers butted up to it. There was a hidden hatch on top, too, but there wasn't enough clearance for them to get out that way.'

"Initial reports suggest the victims died of dehydration, but one body appeared to have been badly beaten."

Very amusing, thanks! I suppose cargo holds might also be a bit like meat lockers, unable to be opened from the inside...
